I would appreciate if you would link only about God’s Word. If you have a linky party that’s okay if it is about the same thing. Please no sales or prizes. I want this to be friendly but I must ask you to abide by the rules. Others want to read God’s Word – and that is what I would like the links to be about. I must take down the links that don’t follow the rules. Thanks so much.

What a great verse to go with this picture! The bird is almost camouflaged, but like with the Lord, cannot be hidden! Love this…”This year, let’s be more open to God…” May we all take this to heart! Blessings to you!

Thanks Ann, There is quite the story to go with this watercolour. It is a batik and I used the wrong marker so it bled; I had to go over with more wax; then go against the “rules” and paint after it was done.
Blessings,
Janis

The image is gorgeous and compliments the scripture so well. No half stepping, no hiding. Authentic and transparent. This is the hope. Thanks for sharing and Happy Ne Year Janis! I’m your neighbor at The Weekend Brew!

Your art is so beautiful, Janis! It is true that everything is visible for God, He knows all things – it’s also a relief, knowing there is no reason to hide things … let us be more open, an share – encourage and be engouraged! Wishing you a Happy and Blessed New Year!

Thank you for sharing the story of the Kingfisher! This stunning watercolor drew me right in, and now I see this carefully paired verse with fresh eyes.

Your post speaks to a Psalm I’ve been studying: “O Lord, you have searched me thoroughly and have known me. You know my downsitting and my uprising; You understand my thought afar off…You are acquainted with all my ways…. Where could I go from Your Spirit? Or where could I flee from Your presence? If I ascend up into heaven, You are there; if I make make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there.” (Psalm 139:1-3,7-8.)

God bless you this New Year, Janis. Thank you for the challenge to live authentically before the Lord and others, in good times and bad.

Praise God I don’t hide from Him any longer. He knows me full well, and I rejoice that even with all He knows He still loves me unconditionally. Where can I go but to Him? Thanks, Janis, for hosting. May God’s grace and love surround you in 2014.

Dear Janis
I think transparency is essential to having an intimate relationship with Jesus. Like a bride that sheds all her clothes for her groom on their wedding night, we need to shed all ours.
